Matty Tsang is widely regarded as one of the most successful and transformational coaches in the history of ultimate. Since beginning his coaching career in 1997, he has guided teams at every level of the sport, earning a reputation for exceptional competitive excellence, athlete development, and team culture building. On the international stage, Tsang has been a cornerstone of U.S. women’s ultimate for more than a decade. He led San Francisco Fury to multiple podium finishes, including gold at the 2010 WFDF World Ultimate Club Championships (WUCC) and silver in 2014 and 2022. As head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team, he directed the squad to a WUGC gold medal in 2008, a silver in 2012, and again to gold in 2016 when USA Ultimate transitioned to select rosters. He was set to reprise his role in 2020 before the event’s cancellation. In World Games gold medal wins, Matty was a Team USA assistant coach in 2013 and 2017 and rose to head coach for the 2022 and 2025 championships.
Domestically, Tsang’s impact is unparalleled. Under his leadership, San Francisco Fury established itself as a dynasty, winning seven consecutive USA Ultimate National Championships from 2006 to 2012, adding more titles in 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2024. His teams also earned multiple second-place finishes and captured U.S. Open gold medals in 2013, 2015, 2024, and 2025, solidifying Tsang’s legacy as one of the sport’s most accomplished coaches.
